In bed.
Ronan's body was pressed against Cordelia. His warmth was seeping through her back, making her
feel snug and comfortable.
"Can't tell who I'm fond of?" Ronan murmured from behind her, his breath tickling the nape of her neck.
The word "fond" sent a shiver down Cordelia's spine. This was the first time he had used the word
"fond."
"How would I know?" Cordelia retorted comfortably wrapped in his arms. "Last time we were at the
diner, you told me 'Men's business, best not to ask.’"
"Do you mind?" he asked.
Cordelia closed her eyes. "No, I don't."
"That's good," Ronan calmly responded. "How about tonight?"
"No!"
"I'll be gentle."
"Still no! You always say that, but you…" Cordelia trailed off, and suddenly felt terrified.
Before she could finish speaking, her words were stifled by Ronan's kiss. He kissed and caressed her,
making her feel as if she was on fire. If she didn't give in, she was sure she would explode.
He was such a jerk!
The next morning, Cordelia woke up feeling exhausted and overslept. Ronan had left early.
After some thought, Cordelia changed his name on her Messenger to, Living Dildo. It was apt since he
was always so frisky.
She got a ride to work with Tristi. On the way, her phone kept buzzing, As she was getting into the
elevator, she saw Deanna just stepping out of it.
Deanna barely glanced at Cordelia before striding off with a smug look on her face. Did Deanna
discuss with Ronan how to handle the current predicament? Cordelia wondered angrily but said
nothing.
After working in the Audit Department for the morning, she sent a message to Brooklyn on Messenger.
[Going to the conference room for lunch?]
Brooklyn, who was always nervous, thought Cordelia wanted to pump her for information. [Sure.]
Brooklyn had steeled herself not to reveal the true cause of Cordelia’s grandmother’s death. Cordelia
had her own theory. Since Brooklyn had warned her to be wary of Samantha yesterday, they must have
heard about Samantha’s plan to expose Deanna. Therefore, Edwin and Brooklyn must have overheard
something about why Samantha wanted to expose Brooklyn. And the reason they didn’t tell Cordelia
was because they were afraid of what she would find out.
Why were they afraid of what Cordelia would find out? Cordelia resolved to get to the bottom of it at
lunch today!
When Cordelia arrived at the conference room, Brooklyn was already there.
"I'm late. I'm not in the mood," Cordelia said, looking like she had no appetite.
"What's wrong?" Brooklyn asked Cordelia.
"I found out about my grandmother, and I'm upset."
"How did you find out?" Brooklyn asked in surprise.
Cordelia thought, “From Brooklyn's question, she must know something, and she just didn't tell
Cordelia.”
"Edwin told me, I asked him and he couldn't resist, so he told me," Cordelia said, her tone gloomy.
Brooklyn looked shocked. "He told you?"
Cordelia nodded.
"Cordelia, don't be upset. I know your grandmother's death was tragic. Samantha watched her die and
didn't help, and Deanna sent Samantha a package that was easily flammable. These two are colder
than I ever imagined." Brooklyn gripped Cordelia's arm. "Cordelia, stay strong!"
Cordelia was stunned. She knew her grandmother's death was more than it seemed, but she didn't
expect it to be this terrible.
Samantha and Deanna were simply murderous.
Cordelia's hand shook. Just now, Deanna had left Ronan's office with a triumphant smile on her face. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
So, how exactly had Ronan helped her?
